I was skeptical as to what could be left to tell for the Bayview four, but I actually liked this book better than the second book in the series! I liked how interconnected the plot felt to the first book, as if it was planned to occur in the first place. They brought back a lot of characters from the first book to tie everything together. I also liked how we got to know a lot more about characters that were introduced in the second book. I thought that the concept was really compelling and I was on the edge of my seat like I was for the first book. There were quite a few unexpected turns that kept me on my toes! Overall, I would recommend!!
